What does a home in Zevenaar cost?
The sales market in Zevenaar is accessible but certainly not cheap. The average purchase price over the past year was €453,600, with a wide range from €120,000 to €1,795,000. This means that both affordable apartments and spacious detached homes change hands. The WOZ value in the district is €293,000, slightly below the municipal average of €303,000. That difference is small, but it shows that you pay slightly more in some neighbourhoods of the municipality of Zevenaar. Of the more than 12,200 homes, 62% are owner-occupied and 38% are rented, of which 30% are owned by housing corporations. The supply mainly consists of terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by newer family homes in districts such as Lentemorgen II and Groot Holthuizen.

Living in Zevenaar: down-to-earth, quiet and well-connected
On the district page of Zevenaar, residents rate their neighbourhood a 7.0 out of 10. Accessibility scores the highest (7.6), and rightly so: Zevenaar station is centrally located and takes you to Arnhem in about twenty minutes. The A12 and A15 are reachable within minutes, which suits commuters heading to Arnhem, Nijmegen or even the Ruhr area. Bus lines from Breng connect the district to surrounding villages such as Babberich and Giesbeek.
Daily life revolves around the centre, where you will find an Albert Heijn, Jumbo and various specialist shops. There are several primary schools spread across the district, including De Lindeboom and De Bem, and the Liemers College offers secondary education. For sports, there are opportunities at football club Zevenaar, tennis club De Liemers and swimming pool De Brug. Green space scores lower at 6.2, and that is accurate: although there are parks such as Stadspark and the area around the Rhine, the district feels somewhat stony in places. Those looking for more space and nature can look at Ooy or the rural Rijnstrangen.
Residents particularly appreciate the mutual atmosphere. One resident writes: "We moved here in October 2024. Should have done it ten years earlier. The neighbours are friendly, always up for a chat, helpful. Shops nearby, in short a lovely neighbourhood." Another long-term resident emphasises that many people have been in their homes for a long time, resulting in little turnover and close contacts. The average age has increased over the years, with the largest age group being 45 to 65 years (almost 6,825 residents). This gives the district a quiet, established character. There is also a critical note: not everyone experiences the neighbourhood as equally welcoming, and the score for education (6.4) shows that there is room for improvement in that area. More details about residents' experiences can be found on the review page of the district.

Auto-translated to English by AIModest and pleasant residents. Many have lived in their homes for a long time, so there is little turnover. The average age has risen considerably over the years. Most children have now left home and live on their own. This autumn, the neighbourhood will undergo major renovations: pipes and paving will be renewed, and the current asphalt paving will be replaced with cobblestones, which not everyone is happy about. The neighbourhood is not far from the centre and is not busy with traffic.
Auto-translated to English by AIA quiet and pleasant neighbourhood. It is nice to live here and there are good contacts with fellow residents. The average age is probably a bit higher than in other districts. Most houses were built in the 1960s and early 1970s. There is a good balance between owner-occupied and rental homes. The main amenities are also present, such as a square and a grass field. For young people it may not be enough, but they are usually found in the city centre and entertain themselves more with their mobile phones. Job seekers will usually find a job outside the neighbourhood because there are few businesses in the Schrijvershoek district. Hopefully the municipality of Zevenaar has no big plans for this neighbourhood and it may stay as it is now! Lifra.
